Hello! I'm trying to replace my spark plugs but having hard time removing the plugs. I tried to wiggle them side to side but unable to pull them out. Is there any special tools out there to help me get those plugs out? Thanks.

You need a spark plug removal tool which is a deep 16mm socket with a rubber bung in the top part of it. This will grip the spark plug and lift it out.

I have just done this job, However, if you don?t have a 16mm, use a 5/8 imperial deep socket? they are almost identical.


But you woyuld still need a 10mm spark plug removal tool (which is actually a 16mm deep socket with a rubber bung in it)


heres a quick video
